node-file-api / file-api Goto Github PK

The actual final File API is quite different from the implementation of this library.

Namely, the File() constructor has a different signature:

new File(bits, name[, options])

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File/File

I'd like to be able to have a consistent way to describe files across both client and server, so an up-to-date implementation of the File API as described on MDN (and implemented by modern browsers) would be necessary.

I'd be happy to implement this myself if you're open to a PR for it @coolaj86 @natlownes although it seems this repo is now dead, if I don't hear back from a maintainer that this work would be welcome I'll just create my own package from scratch, however I'd prefer to update this one to avoid polluting the NPM registry with similarly named packages having different implementations.

Hey. The latest node\mime packages have deprecated mime.lookup. change to mime.getType to avoid that issue.

where 's blob?

Hi @coolaj86, I'm wondering what's the status and future of this project? I think it'd be cool to have this in node, especially for testing purposes. But also in general.

Have you found any replacement for it or just didn't have enough time to get closer to specs in this project?

Hi!
I'm creating a file using new FileAPI.File(path). Recently I reinstalled node_modules in the project and following error occurred: TypeError: mime.lookup is not a function.
I checked node_modules and found that mime module version is 2.0.1. In this version API has been changes (e.g. lookup method was renamed). If I forced npm to install 1.2.11 and it works fine.
Please change mime version in package.json, e.g. "mime": "1.2.11" (without "^") should fix it.
Thanks!
